move decimal 2 places to the right to convert a decimal to a percentage
THE ANSWER IS THAT A= 1.25
It's easier to figure it out when both fractions have the same denominator, so let's fix that:
17/40*15/15 is 255/600
8/15*40/40 is 320/600
Notice we are multiplying by a factor of 1 to get equivalent fractions
So 8/15 is bigger
